What is the Silktide Index?

The Index is the league table showing how organizations in various industries compare for web accessibility.

The Index includes UK, U.S., and Canadian public and private sector industries.

It uses Silktide’s automated web accessibility testing software to test and score websites against WCAG 2.1, the globally-recognized standard for web accessibility.

Silktide’s mission is to make the web a better place for everyone.
